Rackets to test from a Tfight 305 iso: aggressive baseliner

[ChrisJR3264]

Going on a racket journey. Maybe I don’t even switch who knows. First few frames that popped into my head:

- head gravity pro
- head gravity tour
- tfight 315
- Yonex percept 97D.

After a few years of a demanding racket , I also thought about some frames that might be a td bit forgiving.
- gravity MP (with modifications)
- speed pro (thicker beam and sweet spot)
- head boom pro.

Any one else use a TF Tfight 305 iso and switch? If so- what was your transition to?

Thanks

I play my iso305 with leather (340g strung) I’ve been trying to switch away from it this summer as the grip shape often causes me problems in quick exchanges on the forehand. I have a western spinny forehand while I hit a pretty flat backhand.
I’ve had good success with a stock gravity pro for the last couple months. I found a weighted gravity mp just did not nearly have the same layup feel as the pro. Recently I’ve thrown the pure strike 98 v4 into the mix. It still has the iso plow but slightly easier to swing through on attacking forehands.

Radical pro hits a mean ball and is quicker through the air than the speed pro which I found to be quite clunky… prince 100p could be another option if you’re looking for a more forgiving middle ground.

Oddly enough v14 pro staff 97 also played quite well aloneside the iso. Very stable, quicker through the air, you just won’t be able to hit any part of the string bed and have the ball fly in like with the iso.


The big winner recently has been a weighted Rafa 290 (currently at 330g strung) but that might a little too left field lol.

Haven't played much with the ISO305, only occasionally when borrowing it during points play from a friend. My experiences are in line with 'SupremeCourt', as that the Gravity Pro is a very different racket than the MP, also when it's weighted up, and even different from the Tour. The Pro is in it's own league. I've played the Prince 100P, and that indeed plays more as a middle ground racket, an easier GPro if you will. Even easier, but very stable and great hitting and forgiving and worth considering, is the Prince Tour 100P.

24 speed MP or 18x20 blade both 1 grip size down. Easy swinging like the iso 305 but boosted

Sinner specs on the mp ? Lol if it had a thinner beam I’d probably bite

New weight distribution and and the smaller grip makes it feel "thin" in the same way the iso does. Swings similar, etc. I'm usually a thin beam guy. It's not thin but not awful

Yeah the thought process was to weight the gravity MP up a bit but I get it.
